The panel discussion featured NASCAR champion Tony Stewart, Ray Salazar, Equipment Builder Engineer, ExxonMobil, and Brad Harris, Director, SHR CNC Operations, it was moderated by Derek Korn, Executive Editor, Modern Machine Shop.
“We’re excited to partner with Stewart-Haas Racing – one of the most successful teams in NASCAR – to provide machine shop operators from around the country with a forum to hear from the team’s CNC experts so that they can identify winning advantages for their own businesses,” said Suan.
The discussion looked at best practices and challenges that machine shops face, and allow attendees to have insights into how to: develop winning equipment and shop management strategies, as well as cultivate partnerships with suppliers that enhance success.
